Celebrations of Life and Wakes, Cambridgeshire
A Place to Gather, Remember and Celebrate
A Warm and Private Riverside Setting
When a gathering is as much about care as it is about catering, the setting matters. Sheene Mill is a calm, privately owned riverside venue in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire, with landscaped gardens, characterful rooms and a team who will look after you and your guests gently from start to finish. We host celebrations of life and wakes with the same attentiveness we bring to every occasion here, so that you can be present with the people who matter, and leave the day in our hands.
Everything Arranged for You
Exclusively Yours on the Day
The mill and gardens are yours alone, with no other events taking place and no shared spaces. Your gathering has the privacy and quiet it deserves.
Food Prepared by Our Own Team
Our chef and kitchen team cook everything in house. We will work with you to choose a menu that feels right for the occasion and suits every guest.
Riverside Gardens and Outdoor Space
The landscaped grounds sit along the River Mel with a gazebo, mill pond and lawns. Guests can step outside, find a quiet corner, or gather by the water.
10 Boutique Bedrooms on Site
For family and friends travelling from further away, we have ten boutique bedrooms overlooking the River Mel, so no one needs to rush away.
Peaceful, Beautiful and Entirely Private
Set in a sixteenth century mill house on the edge of the village of Melbourn, Sheene Mill carries a quiet, unhurried character. The riverside gardens, original beamed rooms and calm grounds give a celebration of life the kind of backdrop that feels meaningful, not generic. It is a place where people can sit together, share memories and take their time.
